7、TEMSSAE/USCAR-17 REVISION 5 Revised 2016-12PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - 2 -SCOPE1. This document contains procedures for testing performance of SMB-style electrical terminals, connectors and components for coaxial cable connection systems intended for road vehicle

8、applications. These are often called FAKRA II designs. This specification does not apply to the Non RF portion of a Hybrid RF connection system. 2. The intent of this specification is to qualify sealed and unsealed RF connectors that operate at frequencies from DC to 6 GHz. The characteristic impeda

9、nce of the SMB/FAKRA connection system is 50 ohms however this specification does not exclude the use of these RF connectors on non-50 ohm cables or systems.3. This specification does not apply to single conductor wire or twisted pair connection systems.4. This specification (along with SAE/USCAR 18

10、) is designed to provide the mechanical and electrical data required to insure that assemblies from various manufacturers will perform reliably in actual conditions. There is intermateability testing included in this specification. End users who may be concerned about intermateability are responsibl

11、e to request the supplier complete this testing.REFERENCESSAE/USCAR-2 Performance Specification for Automotive Electrical Connector SystemsSAE/USCAR-25 Electrical Connector Assembly Ergonomic Design CriteriaSAE/USCAR-18 USCAR-17 SupplementSociety of Automotive Engineering400 Commonwealth DrWarrendal

Terminals used for validation testing are applied to cab

13、les using the manufacturers recommended tools and processes.2. The total number of test samples required for each test is listed in tables 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.3. Number each sample pair of connectors and record crimp dimensions as applicable from a representative group from each set of samples (See tab

14、les 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4). Document cable information such as type, supplier and supplier part number. All test data, including swept SWR and IL, must be maintained by the supplier for possible review. The supplier must also keep the test samples such that each new customer can visually inspect the samp

15、les or confirm SWR and IL.SAE/USCAR-17 REVISION 5 Revised 2016-12PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - 3 -3.2 CONNECTOR QUALIFICATION1. The RF connection system will be qualified for a specific coaxial cable per these procedures. The guidelines in Table 3.2 apply for qualif

16、ying the product for use on additional cables sizes and constructions. The connection system must meet the dimensional characteristics specified in USCAR-18Connector Construction (dimensions/materials) same as originally validated. Example: connector for RG 174 vs. RG 316 having same cable interface

17、 dimensionsComplete Section 4.2.1 (mechanical Pull) and 4.3 (Terminal Electrical Tests) only and other testing as required by end customerConnector construction differs from originally validated design due to coax cable size/geometry. Example: connector for RG 174 vs. RG 58 and having different cabl

18、e interface dimensions.Complete re-qualification is requiredTable 3.2: Connector Qualification for Additional Cable Construction2. Final determination as the level of testing needed for qualification on additional cables shall be determined by agreement between the supplier and the OEM. The qualifie

19、d coaxial cable(s) and frequency range of interest must be listed on the connector drawing. 3. This specification is a supplement to the SAE/USCAR-2 Performance Specification for Automotive Electrical Connector Systems and all requirements herein must be met in addition to all requirements of the mo

20、st recent revision of SAE/USCAR-2, unless otherwise specified. RF connector related additions and/or subtractions to the SAE/USCAR-2 specification are contained in this document. 3.3 EQUIPMENTIn addition to the equipment listed in the SAE/USCAR-2 Performance Specification, the equipment listed in Ta

22、QUIREMENTS4.1 GENERALRefer to the SAE/USCAR-2 Performance Specification for the majority of RF connector test and acceptance requirements. The exceptions to those tests are listed in the following sections:1. The Terminal Mechanical Tests of SAE/USCAR-2 are not required for the Center - Inner Termin

23、al for RF connector qualification. 2. The Terminal Bend Resistance test is to be considered as optional dependent on the terminal design asdetermined by agreement between the supplier and the OEM.3. The Maximum Test Current Capability test is optional.SAE/USCAR-17 REVISION 5 Revised 2016-12PERFORMAN

24、CE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - 4 -4.2 CONNECTOR MECHANICAL TESTS4.2.1 Mechanical Pull Test and Side Load Test4.2.1.1 PurposeThis test verifies that the connector latch, terminal retention system, and cable attachment will maintain continuity when subjected to mechanical stres

25、s. This Mechanical Pull test is in addition to the mechanical connector tests in SAE/USCAR-2 Performance Specification. This is a stand-alone test and requires samples for each cable type qualified.Note:The Mechanical Pull Test is a design validation test and shall not be used as a production accept

26、ance or quality control test.4.2.1.2 Procedure1. Prepare Connector Under Test (CUT) assemblies for each cable being qualified per Procedure 4.4.2.2, Steps 1 through 72. Attach a continuity tester to check continuity through both the center contact and shield of the mated connector pair.3. Subject In

27、line, Board and Panel Mount connection systems to a direct pull force parallel with the axis of the cable. Any method can be used. If an SMA connector is present for testing, gripping on the SMA connectors can be effective. For samples prepared for SWR measurement (per 4.4.2.2, Note C), it is also a

28、cceptable to wrap thecable around a 2-inch diameter mandrel, securing the cable to the mandrel with electrical tape or some other suitable means. Board mount connectors may have the circuit board end firmly attached to a suitable fixture. 4. Increase the pull force at a uniform rate not to exceed 50

29、mm/min until the force equals 110N.5. Hold the force for 5 seconds while monitoring for continuity.6. Additional Board and Panel Mount testing only. Grab far-end SMA connector (or other available area) and apply 75N of force in the following directions using the same test sample: 1C, 3C, 5B, 7B, 8C

30、(per Figure 4.2.1.2.). The sequence of force application is not mandatory. Direction vectors B and C revolve 360q around the connector axis.Figure 4.2.1.2: Board Mount Mechanical Pull186247A 35BCSAE/USCAR-17 REVISION 5 Revised 2016-12PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS - 5

31、-7. Additional test for Right Angle Cabled Connectors: Axial loads are less practical when applied to right angle cabled connectors therefore a side load shall be applied to the extreme end of the ferrule (furthest from the centerline). The load of 75N shall be applied for 5 seconds while monitoring

32、 continuity. SWR measurements and visual inspection for damage shall be done before and after the side load test. (See drawing below)Note: Cable to connector retention to meet force values according to table 4.2.6.5-B Pull Criteria7.1 Measure SWR and IL per Procedure 4.4.2.2, Steps 4, 6, & 7. Sectio

33、ns of this test apply to all RF connector types refer to 4.4.2 for application specifics.7.2 Disassemble each sample and visually check for damage that could affect the performance of the connection system.Note:Optionally, to account for SMA crimp degradation and the corresponding increased insertio

34、n loss, a minimum of 10 SMAconnector assemblies (same crimp process and length as CUT assembly per Figure 4.4.2.2 1a.) may be subjected to this test (statistical evaluation).4.2.1.3 Acceptance Criteria1. There shall be no interruptions in continuity on any sample during the test.2. The RF connector

35、SWR and Insertion Loss values must be equal to or less than those listed in Tables 4.4.2.3 after the test. 3. There shall be no visual damage to any part of the connection system including connector body, metal terminals or cable attachment. Failure of the SMA terminals is not to be interpreted as a

36、 failure of the CUT. Samples identified as having SMA failures through failure analysis may be replaced and retested through the entire sequence.4.
